What is recorded here
Cúl An Doire holds a 1.28m standing stone, wide enough to shadow a person but thin enough to hide behind. It still rises from arable land on a low hill, unchanged since people first walked past it. The fields have changed owners and tools, yet the stone remains the fixed point of the place.
A standing stone 1.28m high × 1.25m wide × 0.4m thick; WNW-ESE. Situated in arable land on a local rise on the side of a low hill.
The above description was derived from the 'Archaeological Survey of County Donegal. A description of the field antiquities of the County from the Mesolithic Period to the 17th century.' Compiled by: Brian Lacey with Eamon Cody, Claire Cotter, Judy Cuppage, Noel Dunne, Vincent Hurley, Celie O'Rahilly, Paul Walsh and Seán Ó Nualláin (Lifford: Donegal County Council, 1983). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated.
